Ulster Bank Extend Opening Hours

From 7 September Ulster Bank have announced that their branches in Ireland will be open longer : The new opening hours will be

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9.30am – 4.30pm

Wednesday 10.00am – 4.30pm.

(Some branches will still close for lunch !)

It’s a step in the right direction – but many UK banks are open 9 to 5 and many of them open on Saturdays too.

    Fail to see how UB feel this is worthy of a press release,some branches closed for lunch?latest they will open is 4.30?
    I work 8.30-6.00pm Monday to Friday 30 mins for lunch,how does this cater for the average worker who has to take time off at their own expense to do their banking?

    Agreed , these opening hours do not benefit the average M-F 9 – 5 worker … Should at least open on a saturday morning.

    Alan & John – thanks for the comments.
    I agree – the opening times could be better – but give Ulster Bank credit for at least extending them while AIB and BOI stick to the old 10am to 4pm hours and 10.30 on Wednesdays
